The first lady wore a blue gown by Carolina Herrera. R&B star Mary J. Blige performed at the event, and the president made a speech saying that he and Hollande would be embarking on a new, elevated level of cooperation as they deal with global security threats in Syria and Iran, climate change and expanded economic cooperation.

As for Kaling, "The Office" writer-alum shared several personal aspects of the affair, from getting ready to go to getting ready for bed, and offered up a "Scandal"-eye view of the party. (Olivia Pope would be pleased.)

The 34-year-old funnywoman attended the event in a white David Meister gown and carried a Jimmy Choo clutch, which she was happy to reveal contained Rihanna for Mac lipstick and a "Tide-to-Go stick for those inevitable "#whitedresspeopleproblems." Because why shouldn't a girl wear white to the White House?

"Veep's" Louis-Dreyfus got one-on-one time with the real "veep," Joe Biden, posing for a photo with the vice president at the event. The two were seated together at the event, the Hollywood Reportersaid.
